EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored botanical engraving showcases the White-margined nightshade, Solanum marginatum, also known as the Purple African nightshade. The engraving was created by the renowned botanical illustrator, John Sims, and published in Curtis's Botanical Magazine in 1817 by William Curtis in London. The White-margined nightshade is a native plant of Africa, with a distinctive appearance that sets it apart from other nightshade species. The plant is depicted here in all its glory, with its elegant, tubular, purple-tinged flowers arranged in dense clusters at the ends of the stems. The leaves are oval-shaped, with a slight white margin, giving the plant its common name. The botanical illustration provides a detailed and accurate representation of the plant's morphology, allowing for a better understanding of its anatomy and structure. The intricate details of the veins on the leaves, the texture of the stems, and the delicate petals of the flowers are all captured with remarkable precision. The White-margined nightshade is a member of the Solanaceae family, which also includes tomatoes, potatoes, and bell peppers. However, unlike these edible nightshades, the White-margined nightshade is not considered safe for consumption due to its toxic properties. The plant contains solanine, a potent alkaloid that can cause severe gastrointestinal symptoms if ingested. Despite its toxicity, the White-margined nightshade is an important plant in traditional African medicine, where it is used to treat a variety of ailments, including fever, dysentery, and skin conditions. The plant's beautiful flowers and attractive foliage also make it a popular ornamental plant in gardens around the world.
